They are just the ordinary ones who do the everyday things. They work without the recognition (公认) the famous people get. They are the Olympic volunteers.These people arent the great stars of sport. They just want to do their part for the Olympics by smiling and helping the Games go smoothly.The stars of the Games are like brightly colored sailboats on the sea, racing through the waves. How lovely to watch them! But the volunteers are the wind, which nobody sees. Without the wind the sailboats would not be able to move and no one would want to watch them. The volunteers breathe (发出) the wind of life into the athletes.The volunteers may never win medals, but they always do their best to encourage theathletes, whether the athletes win or lose.Some might think what the volunteers do is boring, hardly worth mentioning (提及). But in my eyes, they are as important as the champions and the stars. They are just as much heroes, despite (尽管) not appearing in newspapers or on TV.I truly admire them and I will always cheer for them. They are my Olympic heroes.26 .

I was so proud of it that I regarded it as a wonder. It was beautiful and it took me six weeks to finish it. I could hardly wait to give it to Mother Winters as a gift. She was always strict with us.As the tables were not dry from the clear coating, the man told us to wait a few days before taking them to our dormitories(寝室). But I was just so happy that I couldnt wait to carry my table back, smiling from ear to ear.When I reached the dormitory, I placed the little table beside my bed. When Mother Winters entered, I was admiring it. “Were you supposed to bring this home?” she asked.“No, maam,” I replied with my head down. She ordered me to throw the table out and so I did. After she left, I immediately opened the door to get it back. It was dirty all over. I brushed it and cried, but the dirt would not come off. I hid the table in my closet. However, a year later during a cleaning-up, it was discovered. Painfully, I had to give the table to Mother Winters, thinking that she would throw it away.Thirty years later at a party, I learned that Mother Winters was living nearby, so I drove up to see her. We talked cheerfully for long. As I was about to leave, she asked me to come down to her basement(地下室) to get something important. I followed her into a dark corner. She picked something up. As she turned around, I could see that she was holding a little table.Mother Winters kept the little table that I had given up for lost so long ago.Today, I look at that table with bittersweet memories but full of thanks to Mother Winters, who kept the table for a young orphan who valued it so much.30 .
